Bricktastic: The UK's biggest and best LEGO event returns this year
Posted by Huw,
Bricktastic, the biggest and best LEGO event in the UK, which is organised by and run for the benefit of our favourite charity Fairy Bricks, will take place again this year at the end of February.
The two-day event will be held at Manchester Central over the weekend of 25-26 February 2023.
Over 160 of the most talented builders from across Europe and further afield will be displaying their models at the event, which this year is being held in a much larger hall than before. There'll also be plenty of hands-on activities and shopping opportunities, too, and a live 'Bricktastic Masters' competition taking place on both days, in which five teams will compete to build their best models from thousands of bricks.
Brickset is proud to be the main event sponsor, so you'll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming weeks, and I will be there, collaborating with six others on the biggest GBC circuit seen in the UK in recent years.
Find out more at the event's website then buy your tickets in advance, and do so ASAP because several timeslots have already sold out.
I look forward to seeing many of you there!

Having attended last year, I can say it's a great event for all ages and worth travelling for - I came all the way from Aberdeen for it. Lots of stuff to see and do. Plus, you get to meet @Huw and see his GBCs.
Just really disappointed I can't make it this year.
It's the friendliest and most creative place in the world outside of Billund!
My children bought me tickets for Christmas, I can’t wait!
Gutted, just seen the date, its our first motor race of the season that weekend (yes another expensive hobby!) so we won't be able to make it.
Tickets already bought. Dad and lad day.
This is always a great event, really looking forward to going again this year.
Loved this event last year. I cannot wait to hear/see how it goes this year. The AFOL representation was impressive and I can only imagine that FairyBricks is going to do even more to make this appealing and rewarding for participating and visiting AFOLs.
